The Gunners have a six-point advantage at the summit of the log.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed why he has not sought Arsene Wenger’s counsel as the club’s title race heads to the wire against Manchester City.
The Gunners have the youngest squad in the Premier League and have arguably been punching above their weight this season, with their form keeping them top of the table on 73 points with eight games left.

FOOTBALL Where Arsenal and Man City will likely win or lose the Premier League title
The Gunners are not involved in any other competition but the Cityzens still have Champions League and FA Cup assignments.
The additions of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City have given the squad a different dynamic in terms of competitiveness, and Arteta says they have spared him the need to speak to Wenger on the matter.
"No, the boys who have won (the Premier League) (Jesus and Zinchenko) have brought something different. They have experienced those moments and they know with the context and the opposition that we’re playing against that you need to seek excellence.
You have to be perfect in everything you do to really earn the chance to be there, and the other thing is to win it," said Arteta.

PREMIER LEAGUE Kinyanjui: Arsenal fans be warned! why Manchester City’s priority is to win Premier League
Arsenal fans need to be warned! Manchester City still wants this title more than anything.
When Arsenal beat Manchester United in January, Zincheko claimed that his words to the rest of the squad on the title challenge had been well received, after they had initially laughed at his ambition.
“To be honest, when I had just arrived, the quality I saw... obviously I knew the Arsenal team, I knew all of them before, but still I realized on the pitch we have everything to achieve big things.
I started to speak in the dressing room, saying: 'Guys, forget top three or whatever, we need to think about the title.' Some of them were laughing but no one is laughing now and all of us are dreaming.” he told Premier League Productions.
